We came prepared tonight for Big Float Night with a jetski float sent from Nana. They even had a DJ playing fun summer songs. Cooper did have a little trouble getting going on it because it has a water reservoir in the bottom and someone (who will remain nameless) didn't fill it up before adding the air. Mommy to the rescue with a quick trip to the water hose after he kept getting dumped off.

He had a blast and even did a great job sharing with two little girls.

Someone found his old Halloween costumes and tried to put them on. I missed getting a picture of him trying to get his monkey costume on from the first year. Where does the time fly. He wasn't even walking in this photo.

But he did pose for the one he wore when he was two. It fit a little better because there were no feet in this one.

Even the Spiderman costume from this past year is getting a little snug. Do your kids try to squeeze in too small costumes too? I wish I had captured the giggles to go along with the pictures.

Cooper loves Ben. He decided he needed to share his teddy bear and night night with Ben. Then he thought Ben looked tired, so he decided to feed him a bedtime snack of animal crackers and read him a book.

This is Ben's favorite resting spot. Usually his fused leg is propped up on the railing.

Ready to read a little "Princess and the Pea."

Check Ben out wincing at the animation.

"That's better. I'm an old dog and can only handle so much excitement. Thanks for the snack," love Ben.

This wild child had a terrific time playing at a friend's cookout this weekend. The Spiderman accessories made his day. He played the shy guy for the first part of the visit but watching the big guys play helped to draw him out. And then there was no stopping him.

Spidey to the rescue.

Check out that smile. The big guys were letting him join in on the fun.

The running man pose.

Thanks to our wonderful hosts for a great afternoon/evening. Cooper paid the ultimate compliment at the end of the evening. When asked if he wanted to come back and play another day, he said "Maybe we can sleep here." I think he was ready to move in.
